According to ESPN insider Chris Mortensen, NFL teams will have a three-day exclusive negotiating window to retain their own free agents. That time period should allow teams sufficient time to keep some of their own players. And as NFP staffer Aaron Wilson suggests, it will also likely be a time when rampant tampering goes on as teams and agents have back-channel conversations about other unrestricted free agents.
